Hits from General Election years

07-05-2015
As it's the General Election today, I thought it would be topical for us to reflect on some hits from General Election years. It will dominate tv and the papers until at least Sunday, and maybe days or weeks depending on the result.

Feel free to list as many hits as you want from GE years, but please add what year they were hits.

By way of a reminder, the GEs since the war have been in 1945, 1950, 1951, 1955, 1959, 1964, 1966, 1970, 1974, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2010 and today in 2015.

To start with, my 4 favourite GE year hits in chronological order have been:-

I Feel Fine ~ Beatles 1964
Jarrow Song ~ Alan Price 1974
Sleeping Satellite ~ Tasmin Archer 1992
Torn ~ Natalie Imbruglia 1997

Paperback Writer - The Beatles 1966
Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum 1970

I'm a bit tired now, but there's a few for you.
